Low Maintenance (but incredibly lovely) Wedding Hairstyles

Getting married is such an exciting and joyous occasion and every bride wants to look and feel beautiful and hair is a big part of that. However, on the big day time might be limited, hair stylists not on hand, or costs to be cut. The solution? Low maintenance wedding hairstyles that are as beautiful as they are easy to create and manage! To lend a helping hand, we’ve made a list of our favourite low maintenance styles that we know you’ll absolutely love…

2.     The Pony Tail 

The pony tail is probably the lowest maintenance of all wedding hairstyles. However, don’t be fooled! Just because its low maintenance definitely doesn’t mean it can’t look classy and elegant; in other words, it can be the perfect bridal hairstyle. Loose, tight, straight, curled, and waved are all different ways to style your pony tail to make it unique to the look you’re after. Adding different coloured ribbons, bows, or shiny clips can give your pony tail that extra bit of bridal glam depending on the style you want to achieve. We’ve linked below a pony tail tutorial that we love and that’s really easy to follow. 

 3. The Classic Bun 

The Classic Bun is a wonderful choice for wedding hair; a hairstyle that embodies elegance, simplicity, and timeless chic. A bun keeps everything in place which means you don’t need to be worrying about your locks going astray on your big day. Best of all? This timeless look is so easy to achieve and it's easy to add personal touches to make the style unique to you!
